Between exterior In “Evening Edit,” Zeldin spoke about what he said was a terrible mismanagement of funds by the previous administration. Zeldin said this is continuing scrutiny amid the ongoing scrutiny of the Biden administration’s financial transactions, particularly with regard to the $20 billion spending initiative.
“I’d really say that’s the whole scheme of what to do with $20 billion that puts money at the forefront of eight entities. By the way, Free Beacon was about an hour ago in 2023, and the group was announced. Despite receiving only $100, $2 billion came out about an hour before he went to Stacey Abrams Group. What was the worst thing he found in the EPA left behind by the Biden administration?
Zeldin said this was a rushed effort by the Biden administration to pay a large sum of money in the days leading up to the presidential transition.
“All these eight entities are pastoral pastors. Many of these subgranties are also pastoral organizations. And how this whole was designed, a financial agent agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Bank. , both EPA, banks and account management agreements with key recipients, these were all built to tie the EPA’s hands to the back and ensure less accountability and monitoring.” Zeldin added. “It was a race against the time before the inauguration that Biden EPA was caught in camera and that he said he was throwing gold sticks from the Titanic.”

“We’ve seen this push towards spending hundreds of billions of dollars on left-wing ideological groups over the past four years. It’s in the name of environmental justice. If you want to help the left-wing community, you’ll be the one to go for the dollar. If you’re going to use it, instead of giving it to a group of left-wing activist groups, spend it on rectifying that environmental problem in the first place,” Zeldin said.
“We have cancelled a $50 million grant to the Climate Justice Alliance. They say climate justice is through free Palestine. As for the Trump EPA, first and foremost, there is clean air, land and water. We prioritize this core mission of confirming that.

Additionally, the Biden administration has allocated $1.6 billion taxpayer funds to 105 entities, including groups of leftists, through the EPA.

I’m sure I’ll have zero resistance to waste and abuse,” Zeldin said Wednesday. statement Posted on X. “We review every penny that came out the door. The days of not loading a group of activists on the far left with a ton of cash is over in the name of environmental justice and climate equity.”
